Ask the states to double the salary of teachers that are ask to bear arms for security reasons.

Created by E.H. on January 12, 2013

In the face of the terrible tragedies that happen in Sandy Hook Elementary School in the State of Connecticut, we petition that The Obama Administration ask all states that are planning to arm teachers with firearms, that these states also raise the salary to double the current earnings. The reasoning is simple; since the educators will be doing two jobs, that of teaching and also protection, it is also reasonable to ask these states to raise the current salary to double.
Owning a operating in a responsible manner a firearm is quite expensive, plus keeping it safe and away from the natural curiosity of young children is extra work that deserves extra compensation.
The moneys to pay for this extra expense would come from the states themselves, since they are the ones enacting it.
